Keep it up, helps me to catch up

No worries, I just made you another favor. I just logged in to set up my picks like every night just to find out the games were already over.

Yeah Hockey Day in America, all early games plus they probably didn't want to go up against the super bowl tonight

EvilDan wrote:So last night I went to the Minnesota Wild v Dallas Stars game last night for Ed Belfour Appreciation Night celebrating his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He's easily my favorite hockey player of all time, long before he came to Dallas. His well-chronicled alcohol-fueled exploits are a part of his charm to me. Always entertaining, crazy, and crazy good. As for the game, the Stars won a really well-played game in a shootout.

However, the highlight came after the game. Went to the Old #7 bar to let the traffic die down before leaving, and Eddie came in. Since I have several autographs, and I've met him before many times, I wasn't going to bother being part of the swarm of fans around him. (I was really hoping to run into Jere Lehtinen because he was on 70K, and I wanted to talk to him about it.) So as we were getting ready to leave, he came right up to me, and just started BSing with me. I definitely didn't look like I do now ten years ago, so it was baffling to think that he remembered me, so he must have just been socializing. (Though he skipped a bunch of people before and after our conversation.) It was probably because I was wearing a Stars Belfour jersey that I had him sign over a decade ago. It was just weird for him to come right up and start talking like old buddies who hadn't seen each other for a couple of years. Then, he noticed my sister had a huge brace on her leg, and asked about it. Interestingly, it happened during the Joe Nieuwendyk Appreciation Night celebrating his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. (Her favorite hockey player of all time.) His reaction was priceless. Oh NO!!! You'd have to see it. Just really amusing.

I've obviously left out a bunch of things, and he was obviously a few beers into the evening, but it was still fun. He's always been fun to hang out with.

That sounds really cool! I always loved playing as Belfour in the old Sega NHL games back in the mid-90s.

My all-time favorite quote about Belfour, from then-coach Ken Hitchcock (iirc) after one of Belfour's exploits: "Well, they don't call him Crazy Eddie because he sells car stereo equipment."

Tim Thomas vs the Boston media might become a theme for the rest of the season. They are going to latch onto anything political the man says now. Can't we just focus on what he does between the pipes? The Boston media is vicious so they'll make much more of his statements than they really need to. We shall see what happens I guess.

Of course, it is fine to challenge someone on his or her beliefs if they choose to express them, but Boston has a way of doing it in a not so nice way. The media spotlight can push some athletes from ever wanting to play in the city.

I'd likely be bitching and moaning about my recent HTC results here more if it weren't for how well the Canucks are doing despite some lackluster play. Sure hope they get their shit together by the time we get to Detroit next week cuz I'd love for us to be the ones to end that home winning streak of theirs

wow this has been an awful week for me shut out twice so far missed a day while in van and the other 2 have been 2 pointers

I think it was on the ship or somewhere recently talking about team names that are singular vs plural and I claimed Carolina was one but they are actually the HurricaneS not Hurricane so I now recall it's Lightning, Avalanche and Wild. That is all
